One For The Gals
This one’s for all the gals — Justin’s Ladies Ostrich Print Gypsy Cowgirl Collection Boot. It’s a mouthful but what a fantastic way to dress up your feet!
Carefully crafted from the finest ostrich leather, these boots have 11″ tops and a round, gypsy toe, making it easy to dance the night away. If you’re an equestrian, the black rubber outsole and low heel are fantastic for proper stirrup feel. As with all Justin boots, a pair will last you, well, maybe forever. The boots are durable, comfortable and eye-catching.
Here’s a fun fact about H. J. Justin that you may not know. His wife, Annie, put together a special kit that would lay the foundation for the company. The Justins had set up shop in a Texas outpost that drew quite a few cowboys. With complete entrepreneurial spirit, Annie developed a way to reach those who couldn’t come to town, but needed new boots. The kit, developed in the 1890’s, contained Annie’s hand written letter touting leather pricing, measuring instructions, a 20″ ruler and a diagram of both foot and boot parts. Annie handed out kits to the cowboys as they headed to the range. While ranching, these first Justin Boot fitters would carefully measure the feet of bootless wranglers. Orders and information was sent back to the Justins. With everything in hand, H. J. could make a custom boot.
That’s how Justin Boots kick-started the company into the 21st century.
